SkyJetZ Airways is a regional air cargo company relaunching operations with a lean, asset-light model to service time-sensitive cargo routes between the U.S. and the Caribbean. The company provides scheduled and on-demand B2B freight transport services to freight forwarders, national postal agencies, and logistics companies that consolidate cargo on behalf of MSMEs, eCommerce retailers, and public institutions. “By activating a Jamaica-based air logistics hub, SkyJetZ will strengthen regional supply chain resilience, expand MSME access to regional and global markets, and reduce the cost and time of cross-border trade.” SkyJetZ is currently FAA Part 135 certified and based in the U.S., with plans to establish formal registration and operational licensing in Jamaica to support regional growth and compliance. Its operations will be anchored at the Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston, with additional routes planned to and from Miami, The Bahamas, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba. The project seeks US$2.5 million in equity financing to fund lease activation of three Beechcraft 1900 cargo aircraft, local regulatory certification with the Jamaica Civil Aviation Authority (JCAA), operational hiring, and working capital for the first 9–12 months. The aircraft have already been sourced and the company has executed Letters of Intent with key cargo consolidators including Ultra Aviation, Jamaica Post, and Sun Express, confirming substantial weekly freight volumes. SkyJetZ does not compete with courier companies but instead serves them as a dependable mid-cost carrier—solving the “middle-mile” logistics gap in the Caribbean, where many operators are either overpriced, inconsistent, or under-capacitated. The company is also in advanced discussions with Mailpac (Jamaica’s leading courier), the JMEA (Jamaica Manufacturers & Exporters Association), and regional postal services for route agreements. By activating a Jamaica-based air logistics hub, SkyJetZ will strengthen regional supply chain resilience, expand MSME access to regional and global markets, and reduce the cost and time of cross-border trade. Revenue generation is expected within 90 days of funding, with breakeven projected in 9–10 months. Exit opportunities include acquisition by a regional airline, logistics group, or IPO within 4–5 years.
